Out with old themes, in with the new

It’s time for new themes! We have reviewed the themes available in University Blogs in order to evaluate:

  • Are they outdated and/or no longer supported by the theme developer?
  • Does WordPress.org still offer them from their site?

We found a large number of our themes do not meet this criteria, so they will be removed from use.

University Blogs Approved Themes

The themes below will remain in our service:

UT Responsive Theme
UT Responsive Theme
UT Responsive Small Image Theme

Twenty Eleven Theme

Will my blog be affected?

No. If you are currently using a deprecated theme (not listed above), it will continue to be activated for you.

More themes soon

We have already begun evaluating and testing new themes for our service. Our plan is to have two new themes up and available in the coming weeks.

Moving forward, we plan to regularly evaluate and test new themes for our service in order to build up our Theme library. We are also committed to creating more UT-branded themes as well.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this process. The new themes will be a big improvement towards more modern, mobile responsive and accessible theme designs.
